Directives

Format

<!-- smartling.[directive_name] = [value] -->

 

entity_escaping

Exact delivery depends on file type.

Values	auto (default) true (or yes) false (or no)
Description	Can control whether or not characters will be "escaped" into entities when delivering translations. This can be set universally for the whole file via API, or by setting the directive at the top/start of the file. The directive can also be placed inline to control the behavior of specific strings.
Examples	To use inline: <!-- smartling.entity_escaping = false --> String: <!-- smartling.entity_escaping = auto -->

For example, your translation might look like this:
Smartling HTML escaping < > & " example string4

By default, using the "auto" setting, we would assume this is HTML from the <hr> tag and it would be converted to:
Smartling HTML escaping < > & " example string4

Using smartling.entity_escaping = false would allow Smartling HTML escaping < > & " example string4 to appear as it should.

 

placeholder_format

Values	NONE; C; IOS; PYTHON; JAVA; YAML; QT, RESX
Description	Used to specify a standard placeholder format.
Examples	<!-- smartling.placeholder_format = IOS --> Specifies iOS-style placeholders for the file.

 

placeholder_format_custom

Values	1) Custom Java compatible regular expression. 2) NONE - disables any current custom placeholders
Description	Specifies a custom placeholder format. Any text in your file matching the regular expression you provide will be captured as a placeholder.
Examples	<!-- smartling.placeholder_format_custom=\{([^}]+)\} --> Any characters surrounded by curly brackets, e.g., {first name}, will be treated as a placeholder.
